Weatherford College — Local services in Weatherford

I attended college Spring of 2013 and my experience was terrible. I have never had so much problems with school in my life. I graduated high school in 2008 with a 4.236 GPA because I took college classes. At my previous college i had a GPA 3.00 and ended up with 40 hours of college credit. Everything changed at weatherford. They signed me up for their level two developmental math, and it was harder than college algebra. I looked at one of my friends who is taking College Algebra and it was easier than my Developmental math. I don't know about you but i don't think developmental classes should be half online. With the developmental math, you have to take 12 hours of tutoring in the tutoring room. It wouldn't had been so bad if they all taught the right math. I had a teacher show me the wrong way in their and i ended missing the problem. The Online computer homework teaches you a way, the Class Instructor teaches you a different way,and with the tutoring instructors, it's a fifty fifty chance they teach you right. The other class i had a serious problem with was the Health and Fitness. The class is a hybrid class so it ends up starting after spring break. My deal is, i was told it was PE class. When i start the class he, then informs us that is is half online. I have never had any physical activity class that was half online. The program they use looses your homework. I got a zero on my nutrition project, that I had submitted a week before it was do. The program said that it was a draft and that i supposedly never sent it. I know i did because i sent one with only half of the work, and then i had to resend it again because i actually read the instructions and it wanted my sources. I am all for online classes if; a) it is not a developmental class that is supposed to have more teacher help than a regular and if the online part of class is reliable. I have moved back to Terrell so that i can get back on track. If Weatherford Community College is your last resort, i will offer you some good tips. Weatherford probably has the best History 1301-1302 teacher i have ever or even heard of. Her name is Mrs. Endsley and she is a must have when it comes to History. I absolutly hate History and yet i looked forward to her class. She is probably the only reason i would want to attend this school for another semester. I fear history anywhere else. If they put you in Developmental Math 303, Try to go up one more step, or try to avoid Mrs. Brown. I'm not sure if its her teaching method, or if thats really the curriculum but her class is insane. I have talked to several students who had that class before me, and they all said the same thing...Drop it and take the math that is one level higher. I hope my experience will help to prepare you for what you might face. It was a huge mistake transferring, my GPA has suffered a huge blow because i failed the PE class and the Developmental Math. I passed History 1302 and Business SPeech...

I have a lot to say about Weatherford College. The price is amazing. I got my Associate degree and working part time, I was able to pay for it on my own. I did a lot of theatre/performance stuff at WC and it was fantastic. Mr. Brownlee is an incredible theatre director, and likewise Mr. Laney is a fantastic choir director. Joe is amazing if you do children's show (totally recommend) and the choreographers for the musicals are phenomenally creative. All of the people I've encountered in the art department have been just lovely to me. I love looking at the seasonal art galleries UNT has.

Now, in financial aide or the student center, it's really a hit or a miss. If you're trying to get help in the student center, I totally recommend Adam Finley. He knows his stuff and he'll really coach you on making a schedule you want. Some of the other people just get frustrated and upset when you don't choose the class that's easiest for them to input into the system. I had one lady hand me this huge binder of classes at WC and every time I mentioned one I thought I would enjoy, she would tell me they no longer offered it.

The people in the bookstore are nothing but friendly to me and everyone else. If some people are upset in reviews about the bookstore, I can assure you, it's not the staff. It's probably the prices which--for christ's sake it's a college bookstore. 'Nuff said.

Really, the worst stuff was some of the professors I had. I had one professor that would CONSTANTLY make sexist little jips or homophobic comments and just make a big fuss of his personal views in class. And he wouldn't leave it open-ended, as if it was a debatable idea. He said things as if they were solid facts. Some of my other professors belittled me so much, I didn't even want to go to class at all. One professor called me "messed up in the head". I really adored some of my professors, but some were just awful.

So, yeah, good and bad stuff. I hope WC starts investing more into the arts. There's a lot of gold to be...

if you're thinking about attending the Law Enforcement program through Weatherford College you might as well just look somewhere else. They don't give a study guide to cadets (even though past cadets have gotten them). They will tell you to study one thing for the test and then it will never appear on the test. The assistant secretary is VERY unorganized and lost some of my important documents and lost my PID number even though she had sent it to me, she will also inform prior military that they cannot use there GI bill even though you can. She also had me under a different last name! I gave her updated documents about 3 months or more prior to the academy saying what my last name is and she still sent in wrong information. Thus, I have to go through TCOLE to change it because of her mistake. I wasted about $1,800 (not including uniforms) for this academy. It kinda of seems like a scam...
